Northern Nevada’s largest health care provider is still looking for a thumb drive containing patient information that first went missing in June.
Renown Health on Friday announced it was mailing letters to patients whose information may have been stored on the data storage device. An unnamed Renown employee first reported the thumb drive missing on June 30, according to a statement from the company.
Renown said investigators determined the drive contained patient and doctors’ names, medical record numbers, diagnoses and clinical information.

Heard this on the news about the renown thumb drive missing and later that day received a letter from renown that my info was on the drive , this pisses me off and there should be some recourse and I’m on board if someone wants to take this on
I just got the letter today. I am really pissed! Especially since they waited all of this time to disclose this breach! How do they know the info hasn’t been used? How does a thumb drive just come up missing??? I give no one my address for protection & safety reasons. Now someone has all of my info! Hell no, this is not right!
